Roxanne 
You don’t have to put on the red light 
Those days are over 
You don’t have to sell your body to the night 
 
Roxanne 
You don’t have to wear that dress tonight 
Walk the streets for money 
You don’t care if it’s wrong or if it’s right 
 
Roxanne 
You don’t have to put on the red light 
Roxanne 
You don’t have to put on the red light 
Put on the red light 
 
I loved you since I knew ya 
I wouldn’t talk down to ya 
I have to tell you just how I feel 
I won’t share you with another boy 
 
I know my mind is made up 
So put away your make-up 
Told you once, I won’t tell you again it’s a bad way 
 
Roxanne 
You don’t have to put on the red light 
Roxanne 
You don’t have to put on the red light
